Coming late in her career with Wicked Pictures, "The Game" is a rom-com that displays Stormy Daniels's talent as both writer and director, creating a feature that not only holds one's interest but includes several welcome twists of story.
Title refers to a bar contest played by four horny guys, challenging each other to get the phone numbers of any girls who appear at their local watering hole. Principal among them is Ryan Driller, a male nurse whose sexual adventures are the main event here, getting him into hot water and leading to star-crossed romance.
Avi Love, brightest of Wicked Pictures' recent roster of young starlets (who have filled in the gap left by the end of the venerable label's contract girl system (apart from ongoing Jessica Drake's involvement) which bid adieu not just to Stormy but also Kaylani Lei, Samantha Saint, Alektra Blue and Kirsten Price among others, plays Ryan's neighbor and eventual lover.
India Summer is terrific as usual, playing a Mrs. Robinson-level one-night stand for Ryan, and an ensemble cast is effective in supporting parts. Seth Gamble and Michael Vegas take smaller roles as part of Ryan's Game quartet while an unidentified Black actor fills out that group, but goes uncredited.
